Round-Up of the Week – 24th February 2017

We are always looking for opportunities to hook up with people that ordinarily stay under the radar – the overlooked ones – people who, for one reason or another, find it difficult or no longer wish to engage or access services. Over the last couple of weeks we have had invitations that give us the access to people, systems and opportunities for our clients- we have been shown a few doors we are required to push. Now it’s our responsibility to make the most of the opportunities and do the best we can with them. Our team are willing to go the extra mile so we wait in anticipation and expectation for what is to come.

This week is one which has provided much to be thankful for! I have a list that by no means is exhaustive but here goes…
